Contracting has been doing my head in for the last few years. Apart from HSBC, and that had it's challenges, good contracts are getting harder to find. So after 13 years I've decided to hang up the contracting gloves and head back to a permie job. Interviews have been done and I'm just ...

Shouldn't expect it will stop you fretting but I'm sure he'll be fine Cav', nippers are pretty resilient. Furthermore he's 50% to your design pattern, so just going to be getting in some early practice isn't he.?
